i havent been working out long, but im trying to get in shape by the summer. i've said it on here a lot and ill say it again, ima fat girl (5'2. 165, pear shaped) trying to get down to 110-120 by july.
anyway, im tryin to make exercise a part of my life.
i LOVE going to the gym when there's no one there:inlove:, its great getting up at like 5 or 6, getting your workout in and not having to worry about it the rest of the day.
you can go any machine you want, dont have to worry about changing up your planned workout because all the treadmills are full:smh:
its quiet, i hate when mofos come to the gym and talk on their phone as they work out
dont smell like sweat as much:gag:

i usually go lift around 5am cause there's only like 8 people in the entire place, and the fact that there means they know what they're doing. I hate going to a gym between 5-8 cause most people don't even train hard, resting 5 minutes between sets, talking ect..

lol exactly, these are people who working out after they get off, with their friends and stuff. i hate having a work out partner b/c they always wanna do the same exercise and talk to u. i prefer to go alone.

Real talk, veal stock.
I think working out with a co-exerciser is a disctraciones.
And like you stated, sometimes, i ain't tryna do the routines they're working on (conflict of fitness, witness the bizness).
My prerogative is to go in, lace up some broken-in new balances, put on my headphones, ingest a Diet Fuel pill, chug some high quality h2o and let it rip!!!
It's gotten to the point where i've gotten too comfortable with my surroundings/situation and i immediately get into a zone right when i step in the facility, it doesn't facilitate motivational encouragement to hit that last rep, but it keeps me busy and in shape.
With that said, most times I "FEEL" as if i'm the only one in the gym, killing it (but it sucks when there aren't girls around, cuz most times, they inhibit some random mirror flexologism).
btw, the girls at 24 hour fitness > LA Fitness
Their more sophisticated and sexy.
They know what they doin' and can work they buns like their careers are in baking goods.
Got that Duncan Hines body... sweet and moist.
Giggity.

i go at 5-6am usually... and there's MAYBE a dozen people there. i can describe them all LOL, same people everytime.
there's some older brolic dude who gives everyone daps,
there's one older dude who always talks about doing 9 sets per body part
theres an even older dude who wears glasses, isn't in shape really... but always rocks short shorts, and a sleeveless shirt
there's 2 good looking younger chicks who always go on the elipticals
one old dude who drinking DD coffee, rather than creatine/protein/energy drinks
and there's ONE black dude who does a shytload of cardio.
that about sums it up.
I actually like it when there are people at the gym. Not full but some people.
1) watching others lift gets me motivated to lift more
2) might need a spot every so often
3) always nice to have some eye candy. especially when you know they're jocking you.
I get shook sometimes when i'm in the Gym alone, i feel like im going to get jumped or something.

I gotta have a spotter. Nothing more embarrassing than rolling weights off oneself.

I like it better when people are in there. Last night I went by myself (w/out my baseball crew) and there were a few, but not that many, just mostly girls and other athletes (School gyms ftw!). Working out alone makes me feel weird. Plus it's more encouraging when you have other people with you so that you can both set goals and objectives and keep them.
I wonder what this is like?
Of course my gym is on a Marine base so from 5AM-930PM that ho is at least half full....it sucks but I have no problems debo'ing a machine from someone...

I like it when it's close to empty. Gives me my own personal space.

i dont like the gym when it's empty, i feel like all the staff are watching me..
i prefer to run at home on my own though, cause i can scream as i like and am not worried that i'm going to faint or pass out in front of someone..

When you're one of the hardest workers in the gym throwing up respectable weight, going during primetime >>>>*. Nikkas respect ya gangsta and stay out your way. Plus the hoes be like :inlove:
:laugh:
But then again, when you're in a room full of dedication (the 6am crowd) I tend to get a better workout. When you're surrounded by hardwork, you work hard :yes:

I agree that pressing 120lb dumbbells in front of broads is gangsta :headphone
